The Big Thing

Speaking of toxic chemicals, I think I'll make my tailgate chili! -Red Green

Summary
Rumors are flying around Possum Lake about a big thing coming through on the highway. People set up to watch it from all the high locations in the area, urging Red Green to start a rumor of his own to get everyone off of the best turf so that he can have the best tailgate party. Dalton Humphrey tries to cash in on the event by making shirts and other swag patronizing "The Big Thing". Vendors set up barbecue joints, carnival games, "And pony rides!" A betting pool even forms, where people bet how many wheels the truck carrying "the thing" has. Red Green bets 1,000 wheels. People are so infatuated with the attractions that everyone but Harold misses the big thing. Harold films it, hoping to get rich. it turns out, they don't care about the big thing, just the complimentary attractions. Harold also informed everyone that the contraption had 59 wheels. Apparently, Red won.
